i actually really liked it. just maybe use a tripod next time, and make it more interesting by panning and such like you did at the beginning. good work

You have a great eye for composition of shots. Like said before in the thread use a tripod. start building up your gear with dollies inde sliders and you can make all those movements you made in this film but without the shake. check out http://homebuiltstabilizers.com/

Alot of nice shots in there.

If i had to say anything besides tripod, id say maybe make your out of focus to in focus gradients a little slower. and keep to your theme, you had so many nice shots of nature and then the electric green Slow sign, not really in place

sick vid though, you got a mind for it

More or less the same thing as above, just get it more stable, and work on the focus and you'll be good.  Some of the focusing shots were out of focus for most of it then infocus for a split second then out of focus again.  should probably be the other way around

i liked that a lot actually. you had good ideas and nice camera work!
the only thing i would suggest is with that shot of the fence and the focus transition, make the transition slowly. it was really quick and seemed jerky.
oh and yeah use the tripod that'd be better.

ya agreeing to all the things said above.

as for the tripod i left it in my locker by accident which was a bummer.

and for the fast focusing, i have a gs320. for any of you that have used you would know that the manny focus is EXTREAMLY hard to use. because you use the joystick on the back and if you hold it down for too long it will go right past the object and fuck up.


thanks for all the commetns thoough boys. riding footage to come soon!

The shot at 0:13 with the powerlines and the trees blowing was very good.

pretty cool, i probably would have done away with the power line shot at the start and the water dripping down the eavesdrop later on.  as a suggestion i would have waited for the sun to come out and taken some shots, it would add a nice contrast between rain and sun,
peace

i kinda like the lack of tripod for some of the shots. really. i liek the lack of stability in some of the close ups of the flowers. it feels  more POV ish.

i also like your focus on , focus. haha.

come on now, you know there was more than a little vignette.. :10 and you know it was more than a little yellow tinted.. look at your whites in the edit, the fence is no where near white.. and as far as 1:00 I guess its just your whites turned yellow that are too blown out

and I dont mean any of this in hatred way, just pointing out what I see
